Top 3 lessons I learn from this book:

1. We’re “professionals!”

Now I know why we’re called a “professional”. It’s because

• We do it full time
• We show up everyday
• We show up no matter what
• We stay on the job all day… 😀 😀
• We get paid/rewards for doing all that
• …

So to a great extent, we’re all “PROs”. Just that – yes, just that, unlike other REAL PROs, we work for money. We train to EARN more (not necessarily to BECOME/ACHIEVE MORE – though this may be a by-product)! Look at a PRO football player instead:

• They train & play PASSIONATELY
  vs though we do train consistently everyday, many of us do it without any passion & love
• They usually play for a club of their childhood dream
  vs working for big companies for high pay & perks – some of them we actually hate!
  BONUSES:
• Their weekly salary is probably as high as our yearly’s
• If they help their club achieve sth, they become famous
  vs we’re part of a company system where we needa: do & get higher paid (& do more) or get fired!

2. Territory vs Hierarchy

Hierarchy:
> Problem: when the numbers get too big, things break down!! (don’t really get it yet) – ideal numbers would be 20-800? #School
> Compete with one another for higher ranks
Territory:

3. EGO vs SELF

Death, Time & Space are real vs illusion!

Some other GREAT sayings:

What’s hard is not the work itself (writing) but the decision to actually do it (sitting down to write)! WOW  #Think&GrowRich

How many of us become drunks/drug addicts + gossip, compulsive cellphone use, etc.. simply because we don’t do that things that our hearts, our inner genius, is calling us to? WOW
> This is absolute sth I can relate to
> I needa make my goals become a burning desire; choose right/supporting environment, etc.. otherwise it won’t work too. Too many distractions & pressure in our life right now!! #PeerPressure #SocialNorm #StatusQuo
